Direct Screen Colonoscopy Program
Colorectal cancer is the #2 cancer killer in the U.S. The good news? It’s highly preventable and has a high cure rate if caught early in a screening colonoscopy.
We have streamlined this potentially life-saving procedure for patients in the Lakewood, NJ area with the Direct Screen Colonoscopy Program at Shore Outpatient Surgicenter. Schedule today by emailing us at SOPS_DirectScreenReferrals@USPI.com.
Our Direct Screen Colonoscopy Program is a no-hassle, lower-cost, and patient-centered approach to colon cancer screening:
- You do not need to visit your physician before your screening colonoscopy
- Schedule directly with Shore Outpatient Surgicenter and one of our board-certified specialists will perform your colonoscopy
- Most insurances will cover this preventative service 100%
The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screenings at age 45. A colonoscopy is a simple, diagnostic test which looks for polyps and cancer of the colon. Colonoscopies take about 30 minutes, during which time you will be comfortably sedated. Most patients report a positive experience and return to normal activities and diet the next day.
Are you ready? It is easy as emailing us at SOPS_DirectScreenReferrals@USPI.com.

And we will take it from there!!

An insurance verifier from the center will contact you to review your insurance plan and coverage information. A pre-op nurse will call you and review your pre-op assessment and lastly you will be called by staff at the center with your instructions and arrival time.
There is no reason to wait or hesitate – it’s your life, be around to live it. Schedule your colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy by emailing us at SOPS_DirectScreenReferrals@USPI.com.

My husband had a procedure done there this morning. The staff was absolutely amazing. Very caring and compassionate. Would recommend this place hands down.Donna H.
Had my first endoscopy here. I was very anxious, as I had never had any procedure involving anesthesia, and I simply tend to get anxious easily. The staff was super nice and patient though and the procedure wasn't bad at all!Amie
